643 – Mission Introduction
TL : GoldenLung
“Hence, when choosing a mission, I will focus on the third rank. Also, I will choose a team-based mission that is as close as possible to us. A battle mission!”
“I went to take a look again yesterday afternoon. I’ve already selected a mission and it is the first mission that we will be carrying out. Since everyone supports my decision, I will talk about this mission next.”
Lan Xuanyu had already prepared a mission? How thoughtful ! Xiao Qi thought to himself. He had gone through this period of compulsory missions before, so he naturally knew how troublesome it was to choose a mission. He had to constantly compare and think about what type of mission was suitable for him. The cost-effective ratio had to be high, and he couldn’t waste any time. He had to try his best to reap more rewards. He had to strike a balance between difficulty and benefits.
This was the most painful thing for some people who had difficulty choosing. Even after Xiao Qi became an Inner Court disciple, he had always disliked this aspect.
Now that someone had made the choice for everyone, it meant that Lan Xuanyu had to bear the responsibility. But to his classmates, they could be worry-free.
Lan Xuanyu said, “I’m not sure if everyone still remembers, but during one of the tests in the academy, we went to a foreign planet. There were many strange creatures there, and they were all very strong and aggressive. That’s right, it was during the enrollment test back then. It happened a few years ago. In fact, during that test, through technology, what we went through there wasn’t real, it was carried out under a special setting in Douluo World. And the mission I chose this time was a place like this. This is a planet that the Federation is currently exploring, and its name is temporarily called Dragon Source Planet. There are many types of draconic creatures living on it, and they are very aggressive, destructive, and full of killing intent.”
“This planet is about 13 days away from us. The requirement for the mission is to obtain at least 10 Dragon Crystals before we can leave. There is no limit to the number of people. The difficulty level is three. The reward is 50 points for each person who completes it, and each Dragon Crystal can be exchanged for different points depending on its quality. We can also bring back the Dragon Crystals. Through our current research, the Dragon Crystals from Dragon Source Planet have a similar effect to our Positive Circulation Source Soul Core. It is very worth researching. But at the same time, it also caused these types of dragons that can utilize the power of the Dragon Crystals to have extremely strong combat power. The most ordinary type of dragons are equivalent to the combat power of a five-ring soul master. Dragon Source Planet is an extremely dangerous planet, but from the looks of it, it is most likely the most suitable for us. The roundtrip time is 26 days. If we want to complete this mission within a month, we will need to hunt more than 330 Dragon Crystals in 4 days. But as this is our first mission, I think we can take more time and do it in 9 days. Crystals in surplus can be brought back and exchanged for emblems. I have heard that they have a lot of research value.”
“Qian Lei and Liu Feng will be back tomorrow. If everyone agrees, I will go and accept this mission in the afternoon. After accepting it, we will be able to check on the departure time specially set by the Sky Fighter Division.”
No objections, everyone agreed.
“Alright, then everyone should go back and prepare now. Get your supplies ready and prepare ten days worth. We won’t have any reinforcements there and we can only rely on ourselves.”
When choosing this mission, Lan Xuanyu had considered it carefully. Firstly, considering the distance, the distance of this mission wasn’t the closest; it could be considered medium. But they had tried fighting on a foreign planet back when they were enrolled in school, and they thought it as a real experience. They had some experience. At the same time, this was the type of actual combat mission that Zheng Longjiang had mentioned. Lan Xuanyu felt that he was quite proficient in commanding battles.
Another reason was that they were about to face dragon-type creatures. Lan Xuanyu’s Dragon God bloodline had an effect on almost all dragons, and Qian Lei’s Golden Behemoth ate dragon beasts. If those dragon-type creatures really had dragon blood, then the suppression effect of their bloodlines would be very helpful.
This was also the reason why Lan Xuanyu chose to do so. If everything went as he had expected, their gains would be even greater.
Zheng Longjiang had already told him about the benefits of points yesterday. If they could obtain more Dragon Crystals, they would naturally be able to exchange for more when they return.
Furthermore, Lan Xuanyu had already thought it through. No matter how much benefits there were, since it was a joint operation, they would split evenly. Of course, this average would be based on the contributions of each member. People with more contributions would get more and vice-versa. As the class leader, he would just take the average and try his best to be fair.
“Alright, we’ll stop here. Oh, right, we’re about to carry out a compulsory mission. Before we set off, there is Mr Le’s first performance in Shrek City tonight. I got some tickets for the concert. If everyone is interested, you can come with me,” Lan Xuanyu said with a smile.
“Mr Le’s concert?” Upon hearing this, everyone instantly became excited.
He was a true heavenly king! A heavenly king that was like the sun in the sky. Even the students of Shrek Academy who trained hard every day had heard of this existence.
“Long live the class leader. Class leader, why are you so nice to us?” A female student’s eyes were already twinkling with stars.
Lan Xuanyu looked at her and said helplessly, “Maybe it’s because all of you still owe me emblems.”
Wasn’t that so? Most people still owed him emblems for their One-Word Battle Armor.
But the moment he said that, the entire place burst into laughter because everyone knew that when they would need to make their Two-Word Battle Armors, they might owe even more.
There was also a little bit of selfishness from Lan Xuanyu! Everyone still owed him emblems, so how could they be in danger? How could they be eliminated? It couldn’t be allowed! The points they earned could be used to repay their debt. Lan Xuanyu obviously had to bring them along to earn more points.
Lan Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief as he walked out of the classroom. He had to bear the responsibility of his choice no matter what! Lan Xuanyu told himself in his heart that he had a share in their gains and he was instantly filled with motivation.
Right at this moment, a large hand appeared on his shoulder and Xiao Qi’s voice resounded, “Don’t give yourself too much pressure. You’ve already done very well.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “Teacher, don’t worry, I’m not under that much pressure. I will control it well and bring everyone back safely. They still owe me emblems.”
“That’s right, they still owe you emblems. You have to take care of yourself. The most tragic thing in life is dying without spending all your emblems.” Xiao Qi patted his shoulder and left.
Lan Xuanyu’s face darkened. Teacher’s analogy was really inauspicious!
But he was right, he had to be careful. He would go to the Exchange Center and see if there were any good items that he could buy. It was always better to be prepared.
Night fell and the lanterns were lit.
Shrek City’s largest plaza was located on the east side of Sea God Lake. Around this plaza, there were a few major forces, including the Tang Sect. In the middle of the plaza was a gigantic fountain with a statue erected in the center.
This statue depicted a man dressed in golden armor that contained a pair of gigantic golden wings. His entire body was covered in armor and only his face was revealed. He was also holding a double pointed spear behind his back.
